Solstice

We had a lovely Solstice. It was quiet compared to past Solstices. But, then there are three of us. There have been more. This Solstice was very nice. Connected, and purposeful. Purpose Full. We had a ritual which was going to be public and then in the planning session we decided not to do a public ritual. It was just what we needed. Divine Intervention and all. We tranced to our place of power. For one of us this was her first group trance. Like participatory group trance. She wasn't scared at all. I've been invovled with group trance that took hours and hours and hours just to get started because someone wasn't sure they were ready. She's bold though. She came to one Reclaiming ritual and she said I've found what I was looking for. I was pleased. Like someone praising your child. My child. I have nurtured and cradled the spark for so long, it is so very nice to have others helping to gently blow on the spark and maybe it will flame forth now and not just be kept from going out. I've been holding space for so long. I was weary. I wanted this ritual not to be public because I didn't have the strength to keep doing what I was doing. Funny, that. You hold on until you have reached the end of your rope and find there is someone there to catch you. Nice.
